    Oh God!

    Who is God? What does God stand for?

    The word God is generally associated with religious belief, and long considered to be the creator (masterplanner) of the universe and the source of everything.
    Most religions traditionally ascribe to God certain character traits that can be understood either literally or metaphorically, such as will, love, anger, and forgiveness. However throughout the course of time there have been three fundamental religious beliefs.

    Islamic/Christianity/Buddahism

    It seems to be that even Religion has an evolutionary process which seems to inherit and mutate according to popular beliefs and knowledge of the time.

    Is it that God is residing within each and everyone of us as a higher power? The more we belive it to be the higher the power?
    The fundamental method of philosophy is the use of reasoning to evaluate arguments concerning these questions ..

    I don't know if god exists or not, but I do know that he is not neccesary to understand the universe. So it doesn't really matter. I don't know whether religions are different versions of a unique truth, or different forms of the same lie.

    God is infinity and we contribute to God with our finite existence. God is not a separate creature judging actions of individuals in accordance to a book written by the same individuals. We are God, we, the cosmos, the multiverse.

    Cool The Goddess...

    I agree that we contribute to the Goddess through our presence here. I think we are here so that she can experience this reality directly. I don't know about finite and infinite, the terms don't have any meaning when applied to the Goddess. As energy is indestructable, likely there is no applicaiton to us as well. Maybe it depends on what you believe makes us, us...
